“…In this study, the treatment of animals with a progestagen (fluorogestone acetate (FGA)), a short while after ovulation, most likely led to an increase in the production of transferable embryos and to improve the repeatability by reducing the deleterious effect of the early regression of CL on embryos (Cervantes et al 2007). The observed high within-animal repeatability indicated that embryo production capacity is intrinsically dependent on the donor goat and agrees with data obtained for cows (Tonhati et al 1999, Asada & Terawaki 2002, Benyei et al 2004, Peixoto et al 2004, Monniaux et al 2010 and sheep (Ptak et al 2003).…”

Recently, we demonstrated the relationship between anti-Mü llerian hormone (AMH) circulating concentrations, ovarian follicles, and embryo production in cattle. However, they have not yet been established in a species with a seasonal breeding activity. Thus, goats were subjected to repeated in vivo embryo production during the breeding season, at the end of the breeding season, and at the end of the anestrus season. Embryo production after FSH treatment was highly repeatable for each goat. Plasma AMH concentrations, measured before the first FSH treatment, were highly correlated with the number of collected, transferable, and freezable embryos, resulting from the three sessions of embryo production. Plasma AMH concentrations transiently decreased after each exogenous FSH treatment, but they showed little change with season, and no relationship was observed between AMH and endogenous FSH concentrations during seasonal transitions. Follicles of 1-5 mm in diameter were the main target of the FSH treatment and were major contributors to circulating AMH concentrations. Granulosa cell AMH expression decreased as the follicle approached terminal development, while the expression of maturation markers (CYP19A1 and FSHR) increased. In conclusion, circulating AMH concentrations can be predictive of the capacity of a donor goat to produce high or low numbers of high-quality embryos. This prediction could be accurately made from a single blood measurement of AMH during either breeding or anestrus seasons. Variability in the number of gonadotropin-responsive follicles of 1-5 mm in diameter between individuals resulted in the differences in circulating AMH concentrations measured between individuals.

“…Ces observations sont cohé rentes avec la trè s bonne ré pé tabilité des nombres de follicules en croissance, observé e lors du suivi de vagues folliculaires successives par é chographie ovarienne [17]. Elles sont aussi cohé rentes avec l'existence d'une bonne ré pé tabilité individuelle des ré ponses ovariennes à des traitements de stimulation par FSH chez les bovins [18,19]. Le niveau endocrinien d'AMH, stable pendant plusieurs mois pour une même vache, serait donc un marqueur fiable de l'activité ovarienne intrinsè que de chaque individu.…”

“…The changes in ovarian response have been found to be related with differences in superstimulatory treatments such as total dose, duration and timing of treatment, and the use of additional hormones in the treatment protocol (38,39). Additional factors for the differences in ovarian response might be the genetic of the animal and its environment (3), dietary intake (46), breed (1,9,42), season (33), age (27,29), ovarian status at the time of the treatment (5, 18) and the effects of repeated superstimulations (30). It has been reported that application of FSH in various forms and ways other than im injection can induce superovulatory response and subcunaneous fat amount is considered to be a determinant factor in cattle (10,25).…”

Summary:The present study was designed to determine whether a single epidural injection plus intramuscular (im) injection of FSH in order to reduce the number of injection treatments required to induce supurovulatory response, as well as to determine the effects of this treatment on Anatolian Black cow (Bos Taurus). The results will be compared to those obtained by administration of twice daily injections of FSH. Twenty-one Anatolian Black cows were used in this study. Anatolian Black cows received Cue-mate containing 1.56 g progesterone. The cows were divided into three groups (D1, D2 and E) based on the dose and administration route of FSH. In group D1 a total of 490 IU FSH and in group D2 a total of 700 IU FSH was given intramuscularly in decreasing doses for twice daily for 4 days. In both groups superovulatory treatments were initiated on day 7 of the cycle. In group E, FSH was given 175 IU epidural plus 175 IU im injection on day 7 of the cycle. On the 9th day of the cycle, the Cue-mate was removed and the cows received 500 µg prostaglandinF2α in all goups. The cows were artificially inseminated (AI) using semen obtained from native Anatolian Black bulls twice; in the evening of day 11 and in the morning of day 12 with 12 hours intervals. Superovulated cows were non-surgically flushed 7 days after AI. Embryos were morphologically evaluated and classified according to the criteria recommended by the IETS. No significant differences were observed in the mean number of Corpus luteum (CL) among groups which were 3.7 ± 0.56 in D1; 3.4 ± 0.55 in D2 and 6.0 ± 1.14 in E . There was no difference in transferable embryo yield among groups (10/42, 23.8% in D1; 14/32, 43.8% in D2 and 19/82, 23.2% in E). Untransferable embryo yield was not also significantly different among the groups (32/42, 76.2% in D1; 18/32, 56.2% in D2 and 63/82, 76.8% in E). The UFO rate was similar in all groups (17/77, 22.1% in D1; 13/71, 18.3% in D2 and 28/132, 21.2% in E). Recovery rate was found to be significant among groups (59/77, 76.6% in D1; 45/71, 63.4% in D2 and 110/132, 83.3% in E). To conclude, a single epidural injection plus an im injection of FSH application can be obtained acceptable results compared to twice daily injection of FSH for superstimulatory response. However transferable embryo rate of Anatolian Black cow was found to be low in both single epidural injection plus im injection and twice daily FSH applications. Further studies are required to obtain more concrete results on increasing transferable embryo yields in different breeds.Key words: Cow, embryo, epidural injection, FSH, superovulation.İntramuskuler uygulama ile birlikte epidural boşluğa uygulanan FSH'nın Yerli Kara inekte süperovulasyona olan etkisi Özet: Bu çalışma süperovulasyon oluşturmak için tekrarlanan dozlarda yapılan FSH uygulama sayısını azaltmak, FSH'nın tek uygulama şeklinde epidural-im olarak uygulanmasının süperovulasyon oluşturma yönünde etkisini belirlemek ve bu uygulamanın Yerli Kara inekte etkisini ortaya koymak amacıyla tasarlandı.
